Center fielder Torii Hunter came down with flu-like symptoms Thursday, according to team spokesman Tim Mead, and was scratched from his third minor-league rehab game at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga Thursday night. Hunter was scheduled to fly to Baltimore today and be activated from the disabled list in time for Saturday’s game.

Instead, he will be examined by team physician Craig Milhouse. Now, it appears the earliest he would play is Sunday.
